Itinerary

Mother Teresa Cathedral

26 min

The Cathedral of Saint Mother Teresa is a Roman Catholic cathedral and one of Pristina's tallest structures. It is dedicated to Saint Teresa of Calcutta, an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary, and the building design was authorized by the Government of Kosovo in 2007, however the cathedral was finally consecrated seven years later on September 5, 2017, 20 years after Mother Teresa's death. In Kosovo, the Cathedral hosts some of the largest Christmas masses, and local Muslims join their fellow Catholic residents in solidarity as part of the congregation and to enjoy the holiday season.
Newborn Monument

The Newborn Monument (NEWBORN) in Pristina is a typographic sculpture and tourist attraction. It's in front of the Palace of Youth and Sports, and it was unveiled on February 17, 2008, the day Kosovo legally proclaimed independence from Serbia.

One of Pristina's typographic artworks and tourist attractions is the Heroinat Memorial (HEROINAT). The memorial is located in front of the Newborn monument, in one of Prishtina's most central and visited sites. It was unveiled on June 12, 2015, to commemorate Kosovo's Liberation Day. The majority of the study was carried out through photographic research. It blended many photographs, identified their most distinguishing qualities, remixed them, and generated a representative portrait of Kosovar women.
Stop 4

26 min

Mother Teresa statue, a Roman Catholic nun and missionary fashioned in bronze, is a Peace Nobelist of Albanian heritage. The monument, which was unveiled in 2002 in Pristina's major square named after her, employs Christian symbolism and is intended to portray Mother Teresa's weltschmerz, while the figure of the infant emerging from her draperies represents the world's least fortunate. Mother Teresa became noted for her universalism after leaving the Sisters of Loreto order, becoming the mother of the world who committed herself totally to the destitute and worked in Calcutta, India for the most of her life.
